    these are the excuses I've heard Portland use to excuse the blackouts and Blazer TV price gouging :

    -We'll fix everything in 2 years. Be patient Blazer fans.
    -Jody Allen loves the Blazers, she spends oodles of money to help create a wonderful NBA product.
    - Danny Marang sternly shouting know your facts. The Root contract is the best TV deal available.
    - complain to your local provider, spend hours begging and pleading for a cheaper cable bill.

    I think we're at the point of blaming Blazer fans. All we do is complain. If you don't like this team, then go watch a different franchise... which is actually much easier to do... the other NBA teams are on TV !!

    I'll be sailing the high seas until a decent product is available at a decent price.

    Simple as that.

    I appreciate the support. Turns out after frequent issues with my voice, acid reflux was the cause of my hoarseness the past couple of years, some medication has that fixed up and I’m good to go. Thank you for your concern.

    We’re just having a good time on the radio. If I’m not excited about something, why the hell should anybody else be?

    There always seems to be unfortunate Blazer injuries during the season. Last thing we need is our Radio guy going on the injured list.

    Best of luck out there, Go Blazers !!

    Have you gotten it to work without a bunch of toggling the VPN on and off?

    I’m sorry, but I’m going to need PROOF that this is actually Demers and not some intern! Sorry!

    Super helpful, thank you. That is basically what I pay and what I do with Comcast as well. I was hoping there might be a better alternative. Alas.

    I thought his name was John? Has he been a Dick all this time, and we've been calling him the wrong thing?

    I wish they'd just offer their own streaming service and tell all of them to pound sand.

    Maybe add it locally to KGW as well for some extra dough.
